Nt nly has Harvard given me an extrardinary hnur, but the eeks f fear and nausea I’ve endured at the thught f giving this mencement address have made me lse eight. A in-in situatin! N all I have t d is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and cnvince myself that I am at the rld’s largest Gryffindrs reunin. 首 先请允许我说一声谢谢。哈佛不仅给了我无上的荣誉，连日来为这个 演讲经受的恐惧和紧张，更令我减肥成功。这真是一个双赢的局面。 现在我要做的就是深呼吸几下，眯着眼睛看看前面的大红横幅，安慰 自己正在世界上最大的魔法学院聚会上。 Delivering a mencement address is a great respnsibility; r s I thught until I cast my mind back t my n graduatin. The mencement speaker that day as the distinguished British philspher Barness Mary arnck. Reflecting n her speech has helped me enrmusly in riting this ne, because it turns ut that I can t remember a single rd she said. This liberating discvery enables me t prceed ithut any fear that I might inadvertently influence yu t abandn prmising careers in business, la r plitics fr the giddy delights f being a gay izard. 发 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 毕业演说是一个巨大的责任，至少在我回忆自己 当年的毕业典礼前是这么认为的。那天做演讲的是英国著名的哲学家 Barness Mary arnck，对她演讲的回忆，对我写今天的演讲稿，产生 了极大的帮助，因为我不记得她说过的任何一句话了。这个发现让我 释然，让我不再担心我可能会无意中影响你放弃在商业，法律或政治 上的大好前途，转而醉心于成为一个快乐的魔法师。 Yu see? If all yu remember in years t e is the gay izard jke, I ve still e ut ahead f Barness Mary arnck. Achievable gals - the first step t self-imprvement. 你们看，如果在若干年后你们还记得“快乐的 魔法师”这个笑话，那就证明我已经超越了Barness Mary arnck。 建立可实现的目标——这是提高自我的第一步。 Actually, I have racked my mind and heart fr hat I ught t say t yu tday. I have asked myself hat I ish I had knn at my n graduatin, and hat imprtant lessns I have learned in the 21 years that has expired beteen that day and this. 实际上，我为今天应该和大家谈些什么 绞尽了脑汁。我问自己什么是我希望早在毕业典礼上就该了解的，而 从那时起到现在的21年间，我又得到了什么重要的启示。I have e up ith t ansers. n this nderful day hen e are gathered tgether t celebrate yur academic success, I have decided t talk t yu abut the benefits f failure. And as yu stand n the threshld f hat is smetimes called real life , I ant t extl the crucial imprtance f imaginatin. 我想到了两个 答案 八年级地理上册填图题岩土工程勘察试题省略号的作用及举例应急救援安全知识车间5s试题及答案 。在这美好的一天，当我们一起庆 祝你们取得学业成就的时刻，我希望告诉你们失败有什么样的益处; 在你们即将迈向“现实生活”的道路之际，我还要褒扬想象力的重要 性。 These may seem quixtic r paradxical chices, but bear ith me. 这些似乎是不切实际或自相矛盾的选择，但请先容我讲完。 Lking back at the 21-year-ld that I as at graduatin, is a slightly unfrtable experience fr the 42-year-ld that she has bee. Half my lifetime ag, I as striking an uneasy balance beteen the ambitin I had fr myself, and hat thse clsest t me expected f me. 回顾21岁刚刚毕业时的自己，对于今天42岁的我来说，是一 个稍微不太舒服的经历。可以说，我人生的前一部分，一直挣扎在自 己的雄心和身边的人对我的期望之间。 I as cnvinced that the nly thing I anted t d, ever, as t rite nvels. Hever, my parents, bth f hm came frm impverished backgrunds and neither f hm had been t cllege, tk the vie that my veractive imaginatin as an amusing persnal quirk that culd never pay a mrtgage, r secure a pensin. 我一直深信，自己唯一想做的事情，就是写小说。不过， 我的父母，他们都来自贫穷的背景，没有任何一人上过大学，坚持认 为我过度的想象力是一个令人惊讶的个人怪癖，根本不足以让我支付 按揭，或者取得足够的养老金。 I kn the irny strikes like ith the frce f a cartn anvil n, but„ 我现在明白反讽就像用卡通铁砧去 打击你，但... They had hped that I uld take a vcatinal degree; I anted t study English Literature. A prmise as reached that in retrspect satisfied nbdy, and I ent up t study Mdern Languages. Hardly had my parents car runded the crner at the end f the rad than I ditched German and scuttled ff dn the Classics crridr. 他们希望我去拿个职业学位，而我想去攻读英国 文学。最后，达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协: 我改学现代语言。可是等到父母一走开，我立刻放弃了德语而报 名学习古典文学。 I cannt remember telling my parents that I as studying Classics; they might ell have fund ut fr the first time n graduatin day. f all the subjects n thisplanet, I think they uld have been hard put t name ne less useful than Greek mythlgy hen it came t securing the keys t an executive bathrm. 我不 记得将这事告诉了父母，他们可能是在我毕业典礼那一天才发现的。 我想，在全世界的所有专业中，他们也许认为，不会有比研究希腊神 话更没用的专业了，根本无法换来一间独立宽敞的卫生间。 I uld like t make it clear, in parenthesis, that I d nt blame my parents fr their pint f vie. There is an expiry date n blaming yur parents fr steering yu in the rng directin; the mment yu are ld enugh t take the heel, respnsibility lies ith yu. hat is mre, I cannt criticise my parents fr hping that I uld never experience pverty. They had been pr themselves, and I have since been pr, and I quite agree ith them that it is nt an ennbling experience.Pverty entails fear, and stress, and smetimes depressin; it means a thusand petty humiliatins and hardships. Climbing ut f pverty by yur n effrts, that is indeed smething n hich t pride yurself, but pverty itself is rmanticised nly by fls. 我想澄清一下: 我不会因为父母的观点，而责怪他们。埋怨父母给你指错方向是 有一个时间段的。当你成长到可以控制自我方向的时候，你就要自己 承担责任了。尤其是，我不会因为父母希望我不要过穷日子，而责怪 他们。他们一直很贫穷，我后来也一度很穷，所以我很理解他们。贫 穷并不是一种高贵的经历，它带来恐惧、压力、有时还有绝望，它意 味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷，确实可以引以 自豪，但贫穷本身只有对傻瓜而言才是浪漫的。 hat I feared mst fr myself at yur age as nt pverty, but failure. 我在你们这个年 龄，最害怕的不是贫穷，而是失败。 At yur age, in spite f a distinct lack f mtivatin at university, here I had spent far t lng in the cffee bar riting stries, and far t little time at lectures, I had a knack fr passing examinatins, and that, fr years, had been the measure f success in my life and that f my peers. 我在您们这么大时，明显缺乏在大学学习的动力，我花了太 久时间在咖啡吧写故事，而在课堂的时间却很少。我有一个通过考试 的诀窍，并且数年间一直让我在大学生活和同龄人中不落人后。 I am nt dull enugh t suppse that because yu are yung, gifted and ell-educated, yu have never knn hardship r heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inculated anyne against the caprice f the Fates, and I d nt fr a mment suppse that everyne here has enjyed an existence fuuffled privilege and cntentment. 我不 想愚蠢地假设，因为你们年轻、有天份，并且受过良好的教育，就从 来没有遇到困难或心碎的时刻。拥有才华和智慧，从来不会使人对命 运的反复无常有免疫(直译);我也不会假设大家坐在这里冷静地满 足于自身的优越感。 Hever, the fact that yu are graduating frm Harvard suggests that yu are nt very ell-acquainted ith failure. Yu might be driven by a fear f failure quite as much as a desire fr success. Indeed, yur cnceptin f failure might nt be t far frm the average persn s idea f success, s high have yu already fln academically. 相反，你们是哈佛毕业生的这个事实，意味着你 们并不很了解失败。你们也许极其渴望成功，所以非常害怕失败。说 实话，你们眼中的失败，很可能就是普通人眼中的成功，毕竟你们在 学业上已经达到很高的高度了。 Ultimately, e all have t decide fr urselves hat cnstitutes failure, but the rld is quite eager t give yu a set f criteria if yu let it. S I think it fair t say that by any cnventinal measure, a mere seven years after my graduatin day, I had failed n an epic scale. An exceptinally shrt-lived marriage had implded, and I as jbless, a lne parent, and as pr as it is pssible t be in mdern Britain, ithut being hmeless. The fears my parents had had fr me, and that I had had fr myself, had bth e t pass, and by every usual standard, I as the biggest failure I kne. 最终，我们所有人都必须自己决定什 么算作失败，但如果你愿意，世界是相当渴望给你一套标准的。所以 我承认命运的公平，从任何传统的标准看，在我毕业仅仅七年后的日 子里，我的失败达到了史诗般空前的规模: 短命的婚姻闪电般地破裂，我又失业成了一个艰难的单身母亲。 除了流浪汉，我是当代英国最穷的人之一，真的一无所有。当年父母 和我自己对未来的担忧，现在都变成了现实。按照惯常的标准来看， 我也是我所知道的最失败的人。 N, I am nt ging t stand here and tell yu that failure is fun. That perid f my life as a dark ne, and I had n idea that there as ging t be hat the press has since represented as a kind f fairy tale reslutin. I had n idea h far the tunnel extended, and fr a lng time, any light at the end f it as a hpe rather than a reality. 现在，我不打算站在这里 告诉你们，失败是有趣的。那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月，我不知 道它是否代表童话故事里需要历经的磨难，更不知道自己还要在黑暗 中走多久。很长一段时间里，前面留给我的只是希望，而不是现实。 S hy d I talk abut the benefits f failure? Simply because failure meant astripping aay f the inessential. I stpped pretending t myself that I as anything ther than hat I as, and began t direct all my energy int finishing the nly rk that mattered t me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have fund the determinatin t succeed in the ne arena I believed I truly belnged. I as set free, because my greatest fear had already been realized, and I as still alive, and I still had a daughter hm I adred, and I had an ld typeriter and a big idea. And s rck bttm became the slid fundatin n hich I rebuilt my life. 那么 为什么我要谈论失败的好处呢,因为失败意味着剥离掉那些不必要 的东西。我因此不再伪装自己、远离自我，而重新开始把所有精力放 在对我最重要的事情上。如果不是没有在其他领域成功过，我可能就 不会找到，在一个我确信真正属于的舞台上取得成功的决心。我获得 了自由，因为最害怕的虽然已经发生了，但我还活着，我仍然有一个 我深爱的女儿，我还有一个旧打字机和一个很大的想法。所以困境的 谷底，成为我重建生活的坚实基础。 Yu might never fail n the scale I did, but sme failure in life is inevitable. It is impssible t live ithut failing at smething, unless yu live s cautiusly that yu might as ell nt have lived at all – in hich case, yu fail by default. 你们可能永远没有达到我经历的那种失败程度， 但有些失败，在生活中是不可避免的。生活不可能没有一点失败，除 非你生活的万般小心，而那也意味着你没有真正在生活了。无论怎样， 有些失败还是注定地要发生。 Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinatins. Failure taught me things abut myself that I culd have learned n ther ay. I discvered that I had a strng ill, and mre disciplined than I had suspected; I als fund ut that I had friends hse value as truly abve the price f rubies. 失败使我的内心产生一种安全感， 这是我从考试中没有得到过的。失败让我看清自己，这也是我通过其 他方式无法体会的。我发现，我比自己认为的，要有更强的意志和决 心。我还发现，我拥有比宝石更加珍贵的朋友。 The knledge that yu have emerged iser and strnger frm setbacks means that yu are, ever after, secure in yur ability t survive. Yu ill never truly kn yurself, r the strength f yur relatinships, until bth have been tested by adversity. Such knledge is a true gift, fr all that it is painfully n, and it has been rth mre t me than any qualificatin I ever earned. 从挫折中获得智慧、变得坚强，意味 着你比以往任何时候都更有能力生存。只有在逆境来临的时候，你才 会真正认识你自己，了解身边的人。这种了解是真正的财富，虽然是 用痛 篇二: JK罗琳 201X哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲 The Fringe Benefits f Failure, and the Imprtance f Imaginatin HarvardUniversityCmmencementAddress J.K.

Hardly had my parents car runded the crner at the end f the rad than I ditched German and scuttled ff dn the Classics crridr. 他 们希望我去拿个职业学位，而我想去攻读英国文学。最后，达成了一 个双方都不甚满意的妥协: 我改学现代语言。可是等到父母一走开，我立刻放弃了德语而报 名学习古典文学。 IcanntremembertellingmyparentsthatIasstudyingClassics; they might ell have fund ut fr the first time n graduatin day. f all the subjects n this planet, I think they uld have been hard put t name ne less useful than Greek mythlgy hen it came t securing the keys t an executive bathrm.我不记得将这事告诉了父母，他 们可能是在我毕业典礼那一天才发现的。我想，在全世界的所有专业 中，他们也许认为，不会有比研究希腊神话更没用的专业了，根本无 法换来一间独立宽敞的卫生间。 Iuldliketmakeitclear, in parenthesis, that I d nt blame my parents fr their pint f vie. There is an expiry date n blaming yur parents fr steering yu in the rng directin; the mment yu are ld enugh t take the heel, respnsibility lies ith yu. hat is mre, I cannt criticise my parents fr hping that I uld never experience pverty.

Climbing ut f pverty by yur n effrts, that is indeed smething n hich t pride yurself, but pverty itself is rmanticised nly by fls. 我 想澄清一下: 我不会因为父母的观点，而责怪他们。埋怨父母给你指错方向是 有一个时间段的。当你成长到可以控制自我方向的时候，你就要自己 承担责任了。尤其 是，我不会因为父母希望我不要过穷日子，而责 怪他们。他们一直很贫穷，我后来也一度很穷，所以我很理解他们。 贫穷并不是一种高贵的经历，它带来恐惧、压 力、有时还有绝望， 它意味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷，确实可以 引以自豪，但贫穷本身只有对傻瓜而言才是浪漫的。 hat I feared mst fr myself at yur age as nt pverty, but failure. 我在你们 这个年龄，最害怕的不是贫穷，而是失败。 Atyurage, in spite f a distinct lack f mtivatin at university, here I had spent far t lng in the cffee bar riting stries, and far t little time at lectures, I had a knack fr passing examinatins, and that, fr years, had been the measure f success in my life and that f my peers. 我在您们这么大时，明显缺乏在大学学习的动力，我花了太 久时间在咖啡吧写故事，而在课堂的时间却很少。我有一个通过考试 的诀窍，并且数年间一直让我在大学生活和同龄人中不落人后。 Iamntdullenughtsuppsethatbecauseyuareyung, gifted and ell-educated, yu have never knn hardship r heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inculated anyne against the caprice f the Fates, and I d nt fr a mment suppse that everyne here has enjyed an existence f uuffled privilege and cntentment. 我不 想愚蠢地假设，因为你们年轻、有天份，并且受过良好的教育，就从 来没有遇到困难或心碎的时刻。拥有才华和智慧，从来不会使人对命 运的反复无常有所准备;我也不会假设大家坐在这里冷静地满足于自 身的优越感。 Hever, the fact that yu are graduating frm Harvard suggests that yu are nt very ell-acquainted ith failure. Yu might be driven by a fear f failure quite as much as a desire fr success. Indeed, yur cnceptin f failure might nt be t far frm the average persn s idea f success, s high have yu already fln academically. 相反，你们是哈佛毕业生的这个事实，意味着你 们并不很了解失败。你们也许极其渴望成功，所以非常害怕失败。说 实话，你们眼中的失败，很可能就是普通人眼中的成功，毕竟你们在 学业上已经达到很高的高度了。 Ultimately, e all have t decide fr urselves hat cnstitutes failure, but the rld is quite eager t give yu a set f criteria if yu let it.

It is impssible t live ithut failing at smething, unless yu live s cautiusly that yu might as ell nt have lived at all – in hich case, yu fail by default. 你们可能永远没有 达到我经历的那种失败程度，但有些失败，在生活中是不可避免的。 生活不可能没有一点失败，除非你生活的万般小心，而那也意味着你 没有真正在生活了。无论怎样，有些失败还是注定地要发生。 FailuregavemeaninnersecuritythatIhadneverattainedbypassingexaminatins. Failure taught me things abut myself that I culd have learned n ther ay.

Cpyright f JK Rling, June 201X President Faust, members f the Harvard Crpratin and the Bard f verseers, members f the faculty, prud parent s, and, abve all, graduates. The first thing I uld like t say is ?thank yu.? Nt nly has Harvard given me an extrardinary hnur, but the eeks f fear and nausea I have endured at the thught f giving this mencement address have made me lse eight. A in-in situatin! N all I have t d is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and cnvince myself that I am at t he rld?s largest Gryffindr reunin.Delivering a mencement address is a great respnsibility; r s I thught until I cast my mind back t my n graduatin. The mencement speaker that day as the distinguished British philspher Barness Mary arnck. Reflecting n her speech has helped me enrmusly in riting this ne, because it turns ut that I can?t remember a single rd she said. This liberating discvery enables me t prceed ithut any fear that I might inadvertently influence yu t abandn prmising careers in business, the la r plitics fr the giddy delights f being a gay izard. Yu see? If all yu remember in years t e is the ?gay izard? jke, I?ve e ut ahead f Barness Mary arnc k. Achievable gals: the first step t self imprvement. Actually, I have racked my mind and heart fr hat I ught t say t yu tday. I have asked myself hat I ish I had knn at my n graduatin, and hat imprtant lessns I have learned in the 21 years that have expired beteen tha t day and this. I have e up ith t ansers. n this nderful day hen e are gathered tgether t celebrate yur academic success, I have decided t talk t yu abut the benefits f failure. And as yu stand n the threshld f hat is smetimes called ?real life?, I ant t extl the crucial imprtance f im aginatin. These may seem quixtic r paradxical chices, but plea se bear ith me. Lking back at the 21-year-ld that I as at graduatin, is a slightly unfrtable experience fr the 42-year-ld that she has bee. Half my lifetime ag, I as striking an uneasy balance beteen the ambitin I had fr myself, and hat t hse clsest t me expected f me. I as cnvinced that the nly thing I anted t d, ever, as t rite nvels. Hever, my parents, bth f hm came frm impverished backgrunds and neither f hm had been t cllege, tk the vie that my veractive imaginatin as an amusing persnal quirk that uld never pay a mrtgage, r secure a pensin. I kn that the irny strikes ith t he frce f a cartn anvil, n.S they hped that I uld take a vcatinal degree; I anted t study English Literature. A prmise as reached that in retrspect satisfied nbdy, and I ent up t study Mdern Languages. Hardly had my parents? car runded the crner at the end f the rad than I ditched German and scuttle d ff dn the Classics crridr. I cannt remember telling my parents that I as studying Classics; they might ell have fund ut fr the first time n graduatin day. f all the subjects n this planet, I think they uld have been hard put t name ne less useful than Greek mythlgy hen it came t securing the keys t an exec utive bathrm. I uld like t make it clear, in parenthesis, that I d nt blame my parents fr their pint f vie. There is an expiry date n blaming yur parents fr steering yu in the rng directin; the mment yu are ld enugh t take the heel, respnsibility lies ith yu. hat is mre, I cannt criticise my parents fr hping that I uld never experience pverty. They had been pr themselves, and I have since been pr, and I quite agree ith them that it is nt an ennbling experience. Pverty entails fear, and stress, and smetimes depressin; it means a thusand petty humiliatins and hardships. Climbing ut f pverty by yur n effrts, that is indeed smething n hich t pride yurself, but pverty itself is rma nticised nly by fls. hat I feared mst fr myself at yur age as nt pvert y, but failure. At yur age, in spite f a distinct lack f mtivatin at university, here I had spent far t lng in the cffee bar riting stries, and far t little time at lectures, I had a knack fr passing examinatins, and that, fr years, had been the me asure f success in my life and that f my peers. I am nt dull enugh t suppse that because yu are yung, gifted and ell-educated, yu have never knn hardship r heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inculated anyne against the caprice f the Fates, and I d nt fr a mment suppse that everyne here has enjyed an existence f uuffled privilege and cntentment.Hever, the fact that yu are graduating frm Harvard suggests that yu are nt very ell-acquainted ith failure. Yu might be driven by a fear f failure quite as much as a desire fr success. Indeed, yur cnceptin f failure might nt be t far frm the average persn?s idea f success, s high have yu already fln. Ultimately, e all have t decide fr urselves hat cnstitutes failure, but the rld is quite eager t give yu a set f criteria if yu let it. S I think it fair t say that by any cnventinal measure, a mere seven years after my graduatin day, I had failed n an epic scale. An exceptinally shrt-lived marriage had implded, and I as jbless, a lne parent, and as pr as it is pssible t be in mdern Britain, ithut being hmeless. The fears that my parents had had fr me, and that I had had fr myself, had bth e t pass, and by every usual standard, I as the biggest failure I kne. N, I am nt ging t stand here and tell yu that failure is fun. That perid f my life as a dark ne, and I had n idea that there as ging t be hat the press has since represented as a kind f fairy tale reslutin. I had n idea then h far the tunnel extended, and fr a lng time, any light at the end f it as a hpe rather than a reality. S hy d I talk abut the benefits f failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping aay f the inessential. I stpped pretending t myself that I as anything ther than hat I as, and began t direct all my energy int finishing the nly rk that mattered t me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have fund the determinatin t succeed in the ne arena I believed I truly belnged. I as set free, because my greatest fear had been realised, and I as still alive, and I still had a daughter hm I adred, and I had an ld typeriter and a big idea. And s rck bttm became t he slid fundatin n hich I rebuilt my life. Yu might never fail n the scale I did, but sme failure in life is inevitable. It is impssible t live ithut failing at smething, unless yu live s cautiusly that yu might as ell nt have lived at all – in hich case, yu fail by default. Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinatins. Failure taught me things abut myself that I culd have learned n ther ay. I discvered that I had a strng ill, and mre discipline than I had suspected; I als fund ut that I had friends hse value as truly abve the price f rubies. The knledge that yu have emerged iser and strnger frm setbacks means that yu are, ever after, secure in yur ability t survive. Yu ill never truly kn yurself, r the strength f yur relatinships, until bth have been tested by adversity. Such knledge is a true gift, fr all that it is painfully n, and it has been rth mre than any qualificatin I ever earned. S given a Time Turner, I uld tell my 21-year-ld self that persnal happiness lies in kning that life is nt a check-list f acquisitin r achievement. Yur qualificatins, yur CV, are nt yur life, thugh yu ill meet many peple f my age and lder h cnfuse the t. Life is difficult, and plicated, and beynd anyne?s ttal cntrl, and the humility t kn that ill enable yu t survive its vicissitudes. N yu might think that I chse my secnd theme, the imprtance f imaginatin, because f the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is nt hlly s. Thugh I persnally ill defend the value f bedtime stries t my last gasp, I have learned t value imaginatin in a much brader sense. Imaginatin is nt nly the uniquely human capacity t envisin that hich is nt, and therefre the funt f all inventin and innvatin. In its arguably mst transfrmative and revelatry capacity, it is the per that enables us t empathise i th humans hse experiences e have never shared. ne f the greatest frmative experiences f my life preceded Harry Ptter, thugh it infrmed much f hat I subsequently rte in thse bks. This revelatin came in the frm f ne f my earliest day jbs. Thugh I as slping ff t rite stries during my lunch hurs, I paid the rent in my early 20s by rking at the African research department at Amn esty Internatinal?s headquarters in Lndn. There in my little ffice I read hastily scribbled letters smuggled ut f ttalitarian regimes by men and men h ere risking imprisnment t infrm the utside rld f hat as happening t them. I sa phtgraphs f thse h had disappeared ithut trace, sent t Amnesty by their desperate families and friends. I read the testimny f trture victims
